How are the hostels in IIT BHU?

The hostels of IIT BHU can be classified into 2 categories: new and old. Both of them have almost similar designs. The institute has renovated most of the old hostels and have well-maintained gardens inside. The rooms in these hostels are smaller and generally only two students can share the rooms. They have less number of cupboards per room.

The new hostels have larger rooms, but you may have to share the room with three people (especially if you are in the 1st or 2nd year). Another downside is the size of the garden is considerably reduced, and the overall size of the hostel is small. These hostels have more storage space.

Daily maintenance is done on the garden, the washrooms, the corridors, and other common areas. Rooms are cleaned and disinfected on a weekly basis. The washrooms are cleaned every day. Every hostel has a common room where there is a TV and a table for table-tennis. These rooms can be used for club meetings, organizing events, etc. Sports equipment can be issued- carrom board, badminton rackets, and table tennis. Multiple water-coolers are present on each floor. There are several wifi routers on each floor. Also, two LAN ports are present in each room for faster internet requirements. Each room has at least: a window, one tube light, a bulb holder, a ceiling fan, and 2 sockets. Every student is provided with a bed, a chair, and a study table. All hostels have badminton courts and some even have volleyball courts. Each hostel has at least one: Canteen, (open till 2 AM), and Mess(fixed timings). Each hostel also has allocated parking space for bikes, scooters, and cycles. Students are allowed to have basic electric equipment like heaters and coolers.

You can go in and out of campus at any time. However, there is a curfew for girls (10 PM). There are 3 girls hostels out of which one is solely for freshers. The current fresher’s hostel for boys is Aryabhatta (1 & 2).

Every summer, you have to vacate your room and put all your belongings in either the common room or other dedicated rooms. This is regular for most colleges.
